You can definitely join politics.Be the best M&A lawyer in the country and any political party would want to you as their spokesperson.If a doctor like Sambit Patra can be, then even you can.Be successful.You will figure it out.
Anand Prasad (ex Trilegal, now AP&P) explored going into politics. He left Trilegal which he had co-founded, and tried his hand at politics but somehow couldn’t make it. Reading about him might be a starting point for your introspection. There are a few stories on LI and other places.
I am currently an A2 (transactional lawyer) and really wish to join politics in next 15 years. I don't have any political background and can't leave the law firm job. How do I go about it? I seriously want it. Please no trolls.

Transactional lawyer to politics would be difficult if not impossible.
Litigation or policy work to politics may be possible.
